As the Phils get close to stablizing their roster, they crush the Rays, 10-1.
As the Phils get close to finalizing their 25 men roster before heading north, the batters support a good performance by the pitching staff, as they crush the Rays, 10-1.
The Rays scored first in the third as, with one man on, and with two men out, Sean Rodriguez hits an RBI double, scoring Jason Bourgeois, who had earlier singled, giving the Rays a 1-0 lead, before going on to third...

We’re a little bit over halfway through Major League Spring Training, and not including the depth guys that were added to the roster late for depth, the Phillies have eight non-roster invitees still in camp. Let’s reassess their chances.
Still the Clubhouse Favorite...
Orr Homers Late to Power Phils to 2-1 Win
Pete Orr’s eighth inning homer off of former Phil Mike Zagurski was the difference in a 2-1 win over the Pirates.
The Good
Three players’ performances stood out for me today: Orr, Ender Inciarte, and Aaron Cook. A day after playing center field for the first time in Major League or Major League exhibition game, Orr hit the deciding homer in the eighth. Cook allowed two base runners...
Orr's homer leads Phillies over Pirates
If one of the Philadelphia Phillies' starters goes down, Aaron Cook and Rodrigo Lopez are ready to fill in.
Cook and Lopez combined for five scoreless innings, Pete Orr hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and the Phillies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 on Thursday.
''I'll take the ball whenever they give it to me,'' Cook said after allowing one...
Phillies 2, Pirates 1
Pete Orr hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.
Orr, a veteran utilityman, connected off former Phillies left-hander Mike Zagurski, hitting a long drive to right.
Phillies starter Aaron Cook tossed three one-hit innings. Cook, who has made one relief appearance since 2003, is trying...
What To Do With Betancourt
In our non-roster infield invitee preview, I wrote the following of Yuniesky Betancourt:
Yikes.
Chances of Making Phils out of Spring Training: If there is a higher power and they have mercy, please let this be none.
Chances of Seeing Time with Phils in 2013: See above.
I didn’t write that because I had about 20 players to write about and I was tired as sometimes is the case with...

Fantasy Preview: Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies' 2012 season was a major disappointment. The team failed to win the NL East for the first time since 2006 and managed just a .500 record. Long absences from stars Ryan Howard and Chase Utley, bad luck for Cliff Lee, shoulder problems for Roy Halladay and shoddy bullpen work in the first half put the Phillies in a deep hole. The team started to play better in the...
Braves and Former Braves in the 2013 World Baseball Classic
The Braves have been quick to let us know which current Braves are playing for Team USA (Go Kimmie and Meds!) and about how Andrelton is playing on Team Great Smiles (...I mean, Netherlands). But what about everyone else (Marteen)? And what about former Braves or minor-league Braves? We care about those guys too!
Here's a breakdown. One asterisk indicates a minor-leaguer, two...
Jimmy Rollins to Play For Team USA in the World Baseball Classic
After a successful appearance in 2009, Jimmy Rollins will head back to the World Baseball Classic to represent Team USA. So far, Rollins joins Canadian players Phillippe Aumont, Tyson Gillies, and Pete Orr as Phillies in the World Baseball classic. Former Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino will also play for Team...

The Only Constant is Change
As with everything else in life, the only true constant in baseball is change. And this year especially, the Phillies are going to see their share of changes.
Infielder Pete Orr and catcher Steve Lerud have been outrighted from the 40-man roster. Placido Polanco and Ty Wigginton had their club options declines; the Phillies will instead pay them buy-outs and say bye-bye. Juan Pierre...
Michael Martinez and Others are Gone
Pete Orr was removed from the 40-man roster. In parts of two seasons in Philly, Orr played 2nd and 3rd base, batting .253/.616 over 81 games. Signing him to a minor league deal for a third straight season would be wise because he provides depth at Triple-A and is passable in short spurts in the Majors. Plus, he's Canadian, so that's cool.Minor league veteran catcher...
Phillies Begin to Make Roster Moves: Tyson Brummett, Steven Lerud, Pete Orr are Moving Parts
Tyson Brummett, we hardly knew thee. Today the Phillies began clearing space on their 40-man roster, attempting to outright RHP Tyson Brummett, IF Pete Orr, and C Steven Lerud to AAA Lehigh Valley. Brummet did not make it through waivers and was claimed in the exchange by the Toronto Blue Jays, reports MLB.com's Todd Zolecki.
The Phillies will need to clear roster space...
The Phils have just announced that they had taken Pete Orr and Steve Lerud off of their 40-man roster.
Earlier this afternoon, the Phils have announced that they had outrighted infielder Pete Orr and catcher Steve Lerud from their 40-men roster, leaving them open to possibly being picked up by another team during the 2012-13 off-season. This leaves the Phils with 37 players now on the roster, along with four players on the sixty-days disabled list.
Phillies Weekend Roundup
*Ryan Howard will finish the 2012 season the same way he started it, injured. The big oaf dropped the weighted bat he uses in the on-deck circle on his toe and broke it. *Jimmy Rollins surpassed the 100 runs scored mark for the 6th time in his career. *Pete Orr is batting .321, Kevin Frandsen .330, and Michael Martinez .173. Why, oh why, does Charlie Manuel insist on playing...
Phillies 9, Marlins 5
MIAMI -- Chase Utley drove in three runs to help lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-5 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. Carlos Ruiz and Pete Orr each drove in two runs, and Jimmy Rollins had three hits and scored twice for the Phillies, who are 79-79 and looking to avoid a losing season for the first time since 2002. Roy Halladay (11-8) struck out seven and allowed...
High Hopes for the Phils as they hope to continue their winning streak today against the Astros.
The Phils are red hot. Last nights win was intense. Everyone
was on edge as they all wanted to keep the winning streak alive. At the top of
the sixth the score was stuck at 0-0.
Lee gave up a hit to Carlos Lee, which brought home Solano. The score
was now 1-0, Marlins.
The Fightings weren’t giving up this easily, keeping the
attitude they’ve had all season and...
Phils gullet Marlins with 3-1 win and move closer to Wild Card
In the seventh inning, Cliff Lee and Josh Johnson were knotted in a 1-1 tie game.
Pete Orr pinch hit for Lee and singled.
Orr stole second to get into scoring position.
Josh Johnson, who had a no-hitter through six, challenged Jimmy Rollins with a fastball and Rollins did not miss.
3-1 Phillies.
That seventh inning shot gave Cliff Lee the win, the Phillies 3-1 winners and winners...
Two-Headed Creature Double Feature
Yeah for double headers! Hamels goes first and Cloyd follows. Boo to Charlie Manuel for continuing to play Michael Martinez. That sack of suck is at 3rd base yet again in Game 1 (hopefully Pete Orr or Ty Wiggy gets Game 2). Part of the reason is Keven Frandsen has a stress fracture in his fibula and Polly is on the DL, but the other part of the reason is because Uncle...
The Phils win in the ninth inning as they defeat the Rockies, 3-2.
The Phils come from behind before winning in the ninth on a walk-off single by pinch hitter Nate Schierholtz, as they defeat the Rockies, 3-2.
The Rockies took the lead in the first as, with one man on, and with one man out, Carlos Gonzalez hits an RBI double, scoring Josh Rutledge, who had earlier singled, giving the Rockies a 1-0 lead. The Rockies then made it a 2-0 lead as Wilin Rosario...
Cliff Lee Gets No-Decision in 3-2 Walk-Off Win
A muggy night in Philly brought about the start of a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. Cliff Lee was looking for his fifth win on the season, while the Phillies were looking to gain some ground in the wildcard race.
Cliff didn't have a simple first inning. Carlos Gonzalez doubled with Rutledge on base, bringing him around to score. Wilin Rosario singled after...
Michael Martinez- Worst Player in the History of Major League Baseball
Starting at third base for the Philadelphia Phillies and batting 8th, Michael Martinez.Charles Fuqua Manuel, the strategic managerial genius that he is, went with Mini-Mart over Pete Orr, Ty Wigginton, Placido Polanco, or Kevin Frandsen. Although none of them are world-beaters, they're a boatload better than Martinez. He rolls into today's game with a career batting average...
The Return of Pete Orr: One More Phillies September Addition; More Later?
The Phillies have added an extra position player with the addition of utility infielder/outfielder Pete Orr to the active roster. Orr, taken off the 40-man roster earlier this season after playing 23 games for the Phillies early on. The Phillies created space for Orr by outrighting Hector Luna off of the roster, who opted free agency and signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates...
